SATAN CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN: You're Glenn Danzig, of the
necro-rock band Danzig. And you've got demands.
Last time around, when Danzig played the Concert Hall, the New
Jersey band supplied the concert promoters with a contract rider
that prompted giggles. To wit: "Please provide the
following...Ten girls between 18-24. Must have a general
knowledge of politics, religion and sports and not live more than
a $5 cab ride from the venue."
For their gig tonight at the Warehouse,there's no mention of
females. But along with the usual staples (Guinness, whisky,
Gummi Bears,Snapple), there's a rider that has to do with
Danzig's coy nods to Satanism (a gimmick he plied long before
ghoul-come-lately Marilyn Manson).
In capital letters the contract stipulates: "ALL GARLIC AND
RELIGIOUS ARTIFACTS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE FACILITY PRIOR TO
ARTIST'S ARRIVAL."
Did we mention this guy is on the Disney-owned Hollywood
Records label?
MCA Concerts reps joked yesterday about frisking fans for
concealed religious tchatches. The garlic pretty much announces
itself.
